With Xia Yan's current influence, it would only be a matter of a day or two for any news of his new work to spread throughout the Dragon Kingdom's two-dimensional circle.

Even the film and television industry of Longguo has a lot of shocks.

After all, Xia Yan's magic circle and unheard of the TV series that started broadcasting last quarter have not cooled down.

In the past, people in the two-dimensional circle of the Dragon Kingdom touted Xia Yan, but people in the film and television industry were not cold, and they felt that it was too exaggerated.

But after watching the film and television dramas adapted from Xia Yan's works, many people have now completely changed their concepts.

Magic Circle, the original animation with an unheard flower name, and the adapted manga single book and other products have ushered in a surge in sales again.

Xia Yan's number of fans on major social platforms has also skyrocketed.

Although many fans of film and television dramas will not directly enter the pit, comics, animation, and games, they also always care about Xia Yan's dynamics, and want to see what comic film and television dramas Xia Yan will have in the future.

Then, I saw the news of Xia Yan's two new comics.

Of course, Beizhou Comics and Xia Yan understand marketing, and they know that a little bit of smoke bombs can best attract the attention of fans, and they just release the titles of the two new works.

So since the end of September, Xia Yan's fan base has been completely attracted by the action of Beizhou Comics and Xia Tang Animation to release a little news every few days.

Ninja manga?

Pirate comics?

What is Ninja?

Can you eat it?

"Ninja Ninja, from the name, should be a very tolerant person. But considering the special nature of the "hunter" profession in the work of the old thief hunter, I feel that it cannot be explained simply in a literal sense. ”

"And that pirate manga, I'm curious, can a pirate also be the protagonist? Judging from the gossip released, it seems that the protagonist is not the kind of evil element who burns and loots, and according to the well-known old thief work "Intelligence Analyst" on the Internet, it is suspected that the old thief Xia Tang Animation internal high-level employee "Qianxia" posted, although the protagonist in this work is a pirate, but it is the kind that does not do bad things, and the main plot of the story is also the protagonist's adventure on the sea. ”

"Don't do bad things? Can that be called a pirate? Isn't that a navigator? Why not choose the name One Piece? ”

"How do I know this, anyway, it depends on the old thief."

"Pirate Adventure Comics? Well, if it weren't for the work of an old thief, I would have turned around and left when I heard this introduction, who would be interested in pirate adventures! ”

"Maybe it's similar to that kind of popular science comics, popularizing the daily life of Shanghai thieves in ancient history."

"Why aren't they modern-day pirates?"

"What can modern pirates write about, they have been almost wiped out by the international coalition forces, speaking of pirates, it must have been two or three hundred years ago, it was the golden age, many pirates were secretly cultivated by the state, just to plunder the empire's goods and destroy other people's economies."

"So the old thief, One Piece, could also be created in this direction? On the surface, it's a pirate, but it's actually a sixth-spy pirate? ”

"Maybe."

"Don't think about it so much, there are still more than a month before two comics will be launched, guess so much now, there is a high probability that you will be slapped in the face at that time."

"That's it, it's okay to say the title of One Piece, what kind of ninja, you just go and study the word ninja in the name, and the prefix of the Hokage doesn't say anything at all."

"Anyway, it's less than two months, wait."

In less than two months, from the establishment of the studio to the setting of the comic launch date, Xia Yan's work efficiency is very high.

But this is also inevitable, there are hundreds of excellent works from another world in his mind, even if it is a masterpiece like the Hokage Pirates, it is impossible for him to spend a few years preparing to build momentum, he has people under him, money in his hands, and a network of contacts in the industry, he himself is one of the top capitals in the two-dimensional circle, promoting his works online, and promoting it is a matter of course.

In just a few days, the marketing effect came out.

As for Xia Yan himself, he worked with Mo Ran and the two to check the manga sketches of the pirates and the Hokage.

Xia Yan said that he would not interfere too much in the creation of these works, but he would definitely give a clear goal in the general direction.

Fortunately, the Hokage is a manga in a parallel world, and the early part is impeccable.

There is nothing wrong with the painting work, and the painting style.

And the pirates are different, as we all know, the pirates are in the "Huaguo area" in the parallel world, although the sales of manga single books have always been ahead of the Hokage, but in fact, the number of fans was suppressed by the Hokage during the serialization period.

The taste of fans in the Dragon Kingdom is also very different from that in the Huaguo region, so Xia Yan will naturally focus on the works in the Huaguo region in the parallel world to make adjustments.

In the new world, Xia Yan also saw a lot of the battle between the Naruto fans and the pirate fans in the paste, and Xia Yan also saw a lot through memory fragments.

And the reason why the pirates will occupy a disadvantage in this is that the painting style is too much of a loss, and the boys can still accept it, but many girls directly abandon the painting style.

It can't be said that there are no female pirate fans, but when the pirate painting style is compared with the Hokage, the attraction to female comic fans is too far behind.

So Xia Yan's version of the pirates in the Dragon Kingdom version has also made a slight change, and in general, the rough painting style of the characters has not changed, and the character design of the main characters basically respects the original comics.

But at least in terms of the supporting roles and the treatment of the painting style of passerby A, Xia Yan asked the painters in the studio to try their best to create some styles that attract women, and to be restrained in the processing of some details.

Women have to look better

The women in the original comics of the pirates, in addition to the members of the Straw Hats, as well as the empress, Shirahoshi and other characters, the other ones appear to be more demons and monsters.

It doesn't matter if the main characters have to reflect the characteristics of the characters, but the supporting characters don't look like aliens.

There is also the most direct point is that there are many male battles in the original pirate work, bleeding is enough, what squeaky armpit hair, and leg hair on the thighs like orangutans are also drawn.

Just like Xia Yan watched the plot of the pirate's original comic through memory fragments, the most unbearable thing was the picture of Sanji stepping on his leather shoes and kicking others when he was fighting.

really made Xia Yan very dramatic, and I felt that Sanji's elegant masculinity suddenly became a sloppy image with exposed leg hair.

Shanzhi, who is bare-legged and bare-legged and stepping on leather shoes, in Xia Yan's opinion, has the strength to fight with the beanie shoes leggings boy in the urban-rural junction of Longguo.

In addition to Sanji, the popular villain Doflamingo in the later comics is the same, with beanie shoes with hairy legs, leggings and a pink wool carving cape, which is simply a strong screening of female fans.

It's true that excellent works are excellent in any plane.

However, it is not impossible to make appropriate changes that are in line with the characteristics of the plane. After all, they are all separated by a plane, and there are always slight differences in fan tastes, and copying them unchanged is, to a certain extent, also a kind of laziness.

Xia Yan looked at the comic sketch in his hand, his expression was full of novelty.

Many comic fans feel that as long as the story of a work is excellent, things such as art style are not so important.

But in reality, this is just wishful thinking.

Even if the plot of the two versions of the Hunter in the parallel world is the same, if you change the team, the artist, and the director, it will be completely different.

There are also two versions of the anime of Rogue Kenshin, and the TV plot of the old version and the remastered version also looks very different.

In the parallel world, Jin Lao's martial arts have been filmed into more than a dozen versions of the TV series, and the gap between each version is very different, Gu Tianle and Huang Xiaoming's version of the Condor and the spicy-eyed version behind it are not the same level.

Even if their plots are similar, there can still be a huge gap in the viewing experience.

Therefore, Xia Yan will make certain changes to his version of the Pirates and Hokage in the Dragon Kingdom, but there must be strict standards to restrain them.

Really let the group of people in the studio play at will, although it is unlikely that the masterpiece will become a hit on the street, but it is a high probability event that ninety percent of the work is ruined into sixty percent of the work.

"How? Does it feel okay? ”

Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan with a tired face.

The two comics lasted for two months, and most of the work was completed by her leading Xia Yan and the studio members she selected.

Character design, drawing, communication with the comic club, liaison, and publicity plan are all led by Mo Ran.

In the process, she also has to be responsible for the serialization of the hunter's comics.

Even if she and Xia Yan's combination now has a double-digit team of cartoonist assistants and assistants, which has helped her save a lot of work, this is still very tiring.

Of course, Mo Ran didn't have any complaints, after all, there was a cartoonist in the Dragon Kingdom who wanted to exchange with her so that she could hug Xia Yan's thigh. Moreover, Xia Yan is actually not easy.

Comics,,Animation,Games,Film and television adaptations,Even Xia Tang animation has begun to acquire some peripheral manufacturers,Began to manufacture peripheral products by itself,Dragon Kingdom relies on Xia Yan's works in various fields to survive There are dozens of direct companies,Hundreds of indirect companies,And Xia Yan has so many works in the industrial chain of the Dragon Kingdom,The annual output value is tens of billions of Dragon Coins。

As the core figure of such a huge industrial chain, Xia Yan cannot be easy.

"Very good." Xia Yan's serious brows furrowed.

There are differences between the first two episodes of One Piece and Hokage's manga and those in memory, whether it's the style of painting, or some details, and storyboard processing, they are all different.

But if you really want Xia Yan to judge, he doesn't think that the results of his subordinates are worse than the original works of the two works in the parallel world.

After all, whether it's Oda, or Kishimoto, it's not a cartoonist who is good at painting, and Akira Toriyama, Inoue, and Ken Obata are still far behind.

Xia Yan thought for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"That's it, no need to make any changes, tomorrow I'll ask the assistant to submit these original comics to the Beizhou Comics Agency, and then. It's full publicity. ”

When Mo Ran heard this, her tense heart suddenly relaxed.

She was also apprehensive.

After all, Mo Ran knows very well that the main reason why Xia Yan continues to find her as a partner in these two works is that he has known her for a long time and has a high degree of trust.

But no matter how high the level of trust is, it must be built on ability, and Xia Yan's recognition of the sketch also shows that there is no problem with the comic studio of the two protagonists, which can withstand the long-term serialization of the two comics.

Pass, pass.

Mo Ran was overjoyed.

Then my mind shifted to the plots of the two comics.

"That,Both comics have follow-up plots"

Xia Yan had only given her the comic scripts of the first three episodes of the Hokage and the Pirates before, but in fact, Mo Ran had long been very interested in the plots of the two works.

The first manga of One Piece is the memories of the protagonist Luffy, and the second manga is the duel "Little Aunt", the female pirate Yarrita.

The plot of the first two episodes is just paving the pirate worldview, and the third episode of the plot, the pirate hunter Zoro appears, which is very attractive

It's a pity that Xia Yan's script only portrays half of the plot of Zoro's appearance.

The same goes for the Hokage, the first episode Naruto appeared, and he defeated the middle ninja Mizuki with the technique of multiple shadow clones, and then the plot of the second and third words led Sakura and Sasuke out, and the plot came to Kakashi's lower ninja assessment

The opening plot of both works is quite appealing, and the quality is online.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Xia Yan patted his head when he heard this, took out the key to his safe, got up and came to the wall behind him, and took down the painting on the wall, and after opening the fingerprints, sounds, and keys three times in a row, he took out a large pile of comic storyboard drafts saved inside.

Although it is a small probability event, with Xia Yan's current reputation, who knows if there will be commercial spies who will come over to steal these, and Xia Yan can't be careful.

"Here are the scripts and plots of the next dozen or so words of the two comics, you just take it down and study it, in the creative process, if there are any things that you don't dare to decide, just discuss it with me." Xia Yan said with a smile.

Mo Ran took the thick stack of draft storyboards in his hand.

The expression was slightly confused.

Looking at Xia Yan's eyes, it became extremely strange.

Haven't you been traveling everywhere this month to discuss cooperation with Xia Tang Animation's various work projects?

Do you still have time to create so many drafts of the script in the process?

Never mind

Mo Ran shook her head, anyway, it's not the first time she's seen Xia Yan's metamorphosis.

Holding the draft of the storyboard given by Xia Yan, Mo Ran walked upstairs.

After all, the fifteenth to eighteenth floors of this building are the locations that Xia Yan bought for Xia Tang's animation office.

Xia Yan's office is on the eighteenth floor.

On the nineteenth floor, Xia Yan bought another half floor as the office location of Xia Yan's comic studio.

Although a bunch of cartoonists are creating comics, it is too wasteful to engage in such an office building in the core area, and it does not affect the actual rental of a villa in the suburbs.

But Xia Yan still made this arrangement in order to facilitate his work.

People with a net worth of tens of billions, buying a half-story house basically don't need to think about anything.

After Mo Ran returned to her office on the nineteenth floor.

Mo Ran looked at the employees of his three teams, working on the manga of the three works of Hunter, Hokage, and Pirates.

And she, by herself, plunged into the office and began to study the follow-up plot of the Hokage Pirates.

This look.

It's a whole day

At two o'clock in the morning, Mo Ran walked out of the office building in a trance.

In his head, he is still immersed in the Hokage, and the main character Naruto stabs the back of his hand with kunai's hot blood.

Still immersed in pirates, Zoro cries in front of his master about his oath to become the world's number one swordsman, and the Devil Fruit battle between Luffy and Bucky, the Ugly Emperor.

Mo Ran may be lacking in creative ability.

But after reading comics for more than 20 years, she definitely has the vision.

These two comics. The plot of the first three episodes is just generally good-looking.

But after the plot of more than a dozen episodes spreads out the world view, this directly makes people go up.

Compared to the steel refining, compared to the early plot of the hunter, it is much better.

Mo Ran took a deep breath and thought about what Xia Yan had said to her before.

Large-featured.

These two works are not inferior to hunters.

A hunter has made Beizhou Comics the first in the Dragon Kingdom, and two more will come

A thought naturally crossed Mo Ran's mind.

That Dragon Country may not exist from now on, there is no such thing as the four major comic clubs.

Beizhou Comics will break the file ahead of the other three competitors, and lead its position in the comics industry by one level.

In mid-October, Beizhou Comics, which received Xia Yan's comic draft, began to promote the new comics overwhelmingly.

The two manga, Pirates and Hokage, logged in to "North Boat" in the second and third weeks of November respectively, deliberately staggered, saving time for the first episode of the two manga to compete with each other for Internet popularity.

And with the joint efforts of Xia Yan and Beizhou Comics.

It's mid to late October.

The major business districts of the Dragon Country, bookstores, newsstands, schools, subways and other places

It's already plastered with release posters for the Pirates and Hokage.

Naruto and Luffy have two bright smiling faces, and Naruto's signature six hairy mustaches.

Luffy's yellow straw hat

For the first time, it appeared in the eyes of the second dimension fans of the Dragon Kingdom.

Xia Yan, now, is already a legend in the group of two-dimensional fans of the Dragon Kingdom.

But his fans of the Dragon Kingdom have not yet realized that the two legendary comics in the future are meeting them for the first time at this point in time.
